Thread: D2 V8 Coolant Going Missing

Bars leaks administered and all good now for 6 months. ... Just saying

Also have purchased an OBDC sender wifi and torque app and watch the temp . Nb at idle it goes to 105deg all the time but when driving sits at 90. So I am going to look at whether my fans are coming on properly at idle. Also I have been replacing fluid with pure coolant and it is not dropping now. Cheers

No there isn't a known problem blah blah. If your mechanic said that get a new mechanic. That problem was the third row of bolts that were deleted before theRV8 became 4.0 liter. For a mechanic to say that means he doesn't know much about LR .
